I think it was strictly an implementability issue.
As a compiler-writer, I certainly sympathize with
the restriction. As a user of Ada, I agree the restriction
seems arbitrary and not philosophically justifiable.
By the way, the expression is not "static" in the
normal Ada sense, since the value of a discriminant
is not a static expression.
Finally, a record type definition must end with "end record;"
rather than simply "end;"
